The Legend of Korra may be over, but gaming fans will soon have the opportunity to revisit the world that Korra inhabited. IDW Games has revealed that the sequel series to Avatar: The Last Airbender will be its second tabletop collaboration with Nickelodeon.

According to IDW Games, The Legend of Korra: Pro-bending Arena will evoke the first season of Korra’s adventures in Republic City when she was part of the pro-bending sports team known as the Future Industries Fire Ferrets. The focus of the game will be on the Fire Ferrets and their hated rivals, the White Falls Wolfbats. Within the game, two players will assume control over their respective teams as they draft benders by building a deck of cards and deploy elemental tokens on the game board. The game will also maintain the rules of pro-bending that were established in the show. Essentially, there are two ways to win a head-to-head match: knock all of the opposing team members out of the ring or advance the furthest before the game is over.

Sen-Foong Lim (Akrotiri, The Godfather: A New Don) and Jessey Wright (Pocket Adventure) collaborated on the creation of this game, which is geared towards fans of the series and tabletop gamers alike. IDW Games notes that this is only the first Legend of Korra game to be released under the Nickelodeon deal, but no other details about additional titles have been revealed. Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra both have a very rich mythology and compelling characters that would be ideal choices for future tabletop games. And the possibilities are quite enticing.

Later this summer, IDW Games and Nickelodeon will start a Kickstarter campaign for The Legend of Korra: Pro-bending Arena, and the game will be released this fall at FLGS across the country.

as far as i can discern from the pictures, i see 2 different figures for water (standing and kneeling) and earth (disk on hand and foot), and one for fire. i suppose the second fire figure is around somewhere too. also i can see there are two card decks, one for the Fire Ferrets, and one for the Wolfbats. i doubt there will be more sets/teams.

so with 3 pairs of figures and two card decks, the game woould be complete

the figures look nice. these have to be 3d printed i guess. there's no way to ever mold that and i can't really see how to assemble that at such a scale

a tiny bit of me still wants to have a functional playable Pai Sho set. rules were never completely clear. with today's 3d printing, some nicely wood-fiber printed tiles with carved symbols would look good

/editthe glass display has more poses! i see at least 4 earth figures (backhand, forehand, handstand and low push), and two fire figures (high kick and punch)

So has anyone actually taken a look at the various daily updates on the Kickstarter page? Admittedly I hadn’t given it a lot of thought, but then they revealed a figure of P’li… That’s a bit of a curve ball.

Looking at the various upcoming days there might be a few more surprises on the way. Day 8 looks like Amon, the lieutenant and 3 Equalists, day 13 looks like Kuvira. Are there any guesses for the other days?

Days 7, 10, and 12 are more trick cards.

Days 9 and 11 are more Pro-Benders. I overheard them mention the Buzzard Wasps so that's likely one of them. Maybe the Platypus Bears, too?

Day 14 are the "30 Mystery Component Upgrades." Looks like more tokens for your benders.

Day 15 is probably Unalaq/Unavaatu to round out the villains for each book.

I'm not sure if I want to invest in this because I never really play tabletop games (at least in part because I don't have anyone willing to play them with me), but this does look really nice. Still, I'd love to have the chance to play it at least once.
